👏🏻 support 👏🏻 creators 👏🏻 or 👏🏻 they’ll 👏🏻 lose 👏🏻 motivation 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 create 👏🏻 things 👏🏻
Please, you guys. I don’t normally talk about this much because I’m very grateful for the support I get and I don’t like to sound like I’m preaching, but this is not about me. It’s about all the amazing content creators I know on here who have said lately that they’re rapidly losing motivation to create or even be on Tumblr anymore, because there is so little engagement with their work.
Despite it’s failings, Tumblr is such a brilliant platform because it inspires and allows so much creativity, but that well is going to run dry if people don’t support content creators. I try not to be too pessimistic if I can help it, but I’ve already seen too many content creators vanish to just deny that this is happening. Everyone’s dash is going to be dead as a doornail in a while if this development continues.
If you see art, an edit, a gifset or fic you like: reblog it. Like and leave a comment in the notes if you have something nice to say about it, by all means, but reblogging is the most important way for original content to be seen by more people, which will create greater engagement and keep creators motivated to create more of that content you love.
Content creators spend hours and hours and hours on their work, for free. Reblogging only costs a second (literally). Please seriously consider supporting your local gifmaker, editor, artist or writer by hitting that reblog button ❤️
Artists “do art” because they enjoy it, yes, but having support motivates like nothing else.
